DuraFlux
Eltron Water Systems has developed and is refining semipermeable membranes that tolerate well the stress and chemicals inherent in operating and maintaining filter plants and membrane reactors.
By growing various layers of proprietary polymers onto thin-film composite membranes, Eltron Water's membranes increase chemical oxidizer tolerance, increase water permeability and decrease salt permeability.
Our highly stable thin film composite membranes can help reduce the costs and labor associated with:
- Reverse osmosis
- Nanofiltration
- Pervaporation
- Gas separation
- Catalysis
Desalination. Water purification. Wastewater treatment. Chemical and gas separations. Dairy, food and beverage processing. Pharmaceutical and chemicals production. Environmental remediation. Elton Water's semipermeable membranes bring these advantages to all of those applications:
- High tolerance to chlorine (20X tolerance currently; developing >80X tolerance)
- Higher water flux (1.5 to 10X higher than conventional nanofiltration membranes)
- Higher thermal stability (80° C versus 50° C)
- Improved stability to transition metals and oxidizers
- Extended shelf life (> 2 years dry)
- Can be impregnated with metal or metal oxide particles
- Variety of microporous substrate materials can be deposited
- Unique polymer formulations
- Novel polymer process methodology
